Mind control (also referred to as brainwashing, coercive persuasion, and thought reform) refers to a broad range of psychological tactics thought to subvert an individual's control of his or her own thinking, behavior, emotions, or decision making. Brainwashing and mind control theories originally developed to explain how totalitarian regimes were thought to indoctrinate prisoners of war through propaganda and torture techniques. These theories were later adopted and expanded to explain a wider range of phenomena especially conversions to new religious movements (NRMs). Since their application to NRMs mind control theories have been especially controversial within scientific and legal contexts and currently most social scientists agree with the stances taken by the American Psychological Association and American Sociological Association which have found no scientific merit in them.

Q. Brainwashing by video, that is. How exactly would it work? Like for instance, if the the brainwasher wanted the person being brainwashed to kill someone, how would it work? What exactly would be on the video? I ask this because I'm writing a short story dealing with brainwashing. Thanks. :-) Asked by wrongnumber - Thu Mar 27 19:14:11 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. There could be a subliminal message some images of death and distruction in relation to a specific person. There could be music to cover the sounds of a message which would tell people the person was evil sounds off gunfire massacres chants of Sieg Heil things like that. This was a theme in The film The Agency starring Robert Mitchum. The other are way are a repetitive series of images such as scenes of heads being chopped of,scenes of rape by men in uniform, scenes of an evil populace bent on destruction. The people a person will be told are evil and the person who watches will be told the person must kill them before the people attack the country the person is in. The person will be instructed how to kill unarmed people in simulations. [cont.] Answered by darren m - Thu Mar 27 19:33:31 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "brainwashing" |
